WhatsApp for Windows Phone 8 now in the Windows Phone Store

WhatsApp 2.8.10.0 is now in the Windows Phone Store, and will install on your Windows Phone 8 handset.

There do not appear to be much obvious improvements â€“ in fact smilies have disappeared, and the app does not appear to be using fast resume from the live tile or any other Windows Phone 8 specific APIs, which does make one wonder what the wait was all about.
